Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mask holder for especially large-surface substrates, especially for the microstructuring of organic electroluminescent materials (OLED) on preferably large-surface substrates, especially screens, displays and the like by means of vacuum-coating processes.
- OLED organic electroluminescent materials
- OLED organic, electroluminescent materials
- micro-structured, organic, electroluminescent materials are usually applied by means of vacuum-coating processes, with the microstructures usually generated by corresponding shadow masks.
- These masks need to be placed on the substrates in a suitable manner, to be transported along with them through the corresponding coating chambers, and then removed again from them in order that, following possible cleaning, they may be reused.
- a magnetic holding device for foil masks is described in DE 297 07 686 U 1.
- a foil mask is arranged on a substrate carrier by means of positioning pins on which said mask, in turn, the substrate to be coated lies.
- Above the substrate is an arrangement of magnets that serves to press the full surface of the ferromagnetic mask against the substrate, which is provided between mask and magnet arrangement.
- the mechanical attachment of the mask to the substrate carrier promotes the generation of undesirable particles and, moreover, such an arrangement is unfavourable for simple, quick and precise arrangement and removal of the mask from the substrate.
- EP 1 202 329 A 2 refers to a mask arrangement in which a mask is pressed across its full surface against the substrate by means of an arrangement of magnets behind the substrate carrier.
- the masks described therein may feature a peripheral frame by means of which the mask is laterally clamped in order to impart a certain degree of stability to the thin foil from which the mask is usually made.
- the magnets merely serve the purpose of creating full-surface, blister-free contact between the mask and the substrate, but not that of holding in a dynamic system in which the substrate on the substrate carrier is moved with the mask through the coating area.
- At least one aspect of the invention is directed to a mask holder for dynamic vacuum-coating processes, especially during the in-line production of OLED screens or displays, that avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and especially guarantees a precise, rapid and simple possibility of mask changing, and a secure and reliable arrangement of the mask at the (dynamic) substrate moved during coating.
- the corresponding devices for mask changing are to be easy to manufacture and simple to operate.
- a substrate carrier comprises one or more magnets and is consequently capable of directly holding the mask during transport through the coating machine, such that the mask is held directly or in relation to this substrate, which is arranged between the substrate carrier and mask.
- the substrate is treated carefully for one thing since the holding function for the mask transfers directly to the substrate carrier.
- the magnetic holder simple handling and secure holding of the mask during transport through the vacuum-coating machine are assured.
- the magnets of the mask holder on the substrate carrier may be both permanent magnets and electromagnets.
- the magnets are preferably spaced equidistantly from each other around the periphery of the substrate-receiver area at the substrate carrier, where, for example, they may form a ring shape, a rectangular shape or a polygonal closed band. Especially, such an arrangement assures uniform holding of the mask.
- the magnets are arranged at the rear of the substrate carrier, that is, opposite the substrate via a mask-holding plate or a corresponding frame, which is arranged detachably at the substrate-receiver plate.
- spacers are provided between the substrate-receiver plate and the mask-holding plate, such that the magnets are received or held between the substrate-receiver plate and the mask-holding plate.
- the mask is formed in accordance with the arrangement of the magnets on the substrate carrier such that it at least features a magnetic edge or frame, with the term edge being used if the mask is formed in one piece, while the term frame is used if the mask consists of multiple pieces overall and especially if frame and mask are formed from two different parts. In this way, it is possible to also use non-magnetic mask materials that can then be incorporated into corresponding magnetic frame arrangements.
- the use of a frame or the arrangement of the holding magnets relative to the edge of the mask facilitates stable attachment of them by correspondingly high magnetic forces.
- magnets of the substrate carrier can engage positively with corresponding recesses on the frame of the mask.
- the placement surface or contact surface between substrate carrier or substrate and mask or frame is preferably formed such that the full surface of the mask contacts the substrate.
- magnets may be provided in or at the substrate carrier in the actual mask area in order that, especially in the case of magnetic masks, full-surface pressing of the mask against the substrate may be assured.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of a mask-application station, with the mask in the raised state
- FIG. 2 shows the mask-application station from FIG. 1 with mask arranged at the substrate
- FIG. 3 shows the mask-application station of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 with the mask deposited on the substrate
- FIG. 4 shows a plan view of a mask with frame.
- FIG. 1 is a lateral view and partial cross-sectional view of a mask-application station for a vacuum chamber of a vacuum-coating machine, especially for the continuous (in-line) coating of transparent substrates with organic, electroluminescent materials for the production of OLED displays or screens.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross-section through a chamber wall or a mounting plate 1 , which can be inserted into the chamber wall, whereby, in the vacuum chamber, i.e. above the mounting plate 1 of FIG. 1 , a substrate carrier 2 is shown with a substrate 3 arranged on it, which can be transported through the vacuum chamber by means of transport or conveyor devices not shown.
- the substrate is located above a mask-application station with mask-positioning device 5 , with the aid of which mask 6 can be arranged and aligned on substrate 3 .
- the mask-positioning device 5 features a large number of electromagnets 7 , which are arranged peripherally around a holding plate or frame 8 .
- the holding frame 8 is, in turn, connected via a vacuum-tight guide 19 to different drives 12 , 13 , 14 and 16 that facilitate movement of the holding plate or frame 8 relative to the substrate carrier 2 or the substrate 3 .
- movement is permitted by the horizontal drive 12 in the horizontal direction, by the vertical drive 16 in the vertical direction, i.e. out of the plane of the diagram, and by the axial drive 13 in the axial direction, i.e. in the direction of the axis 15 .
- a rotary drive 14 is provided, which permits rotation of the holding plate 8 about the axis 15 .
- the holding plate 8 can thus be brought into any position relative to the substrate carrier 2 .
- a second movement device is provided in the form of preferably several, and, in the example embodiment, a total of 4, lifting devices 18 arranged in a square for gripping the corners of the rectangular substrate carrier.
- the ends of the lifting devices 18 each have coupling elements 11 which interact with the substrate carrier couplings 10 such that the substrate carrier 2 can be connected with the lifting devices 18 such that these can move the substrate carrier 2 .
- the lifting mechanism or drive 18 may comprise a hydraulic or pneumatic lifting cylinder or, as in the preferred embodiment, also a spindle drive, which is characterised by particularly uniform, exact and smooth movement.
- the axial drive 13 or the other drives may be formed in the same manner.
- CCD cameras 17 Apart from the lifting drives 18 and the mask-positioning device 5 , additionally provided on the mounting plate 1 are CCD cameras 17 , preferably at least two cameras, which can monitor the positioning of the mask 6 on the substrate 3 each via a window element.
- the CCD cameras form a monitoring unit, which checks the exact positioning of the mask relative to the substrate.
- a control unit (not shown) is activated, which controls the movement of the mask-positioning device 5 .
- the drives 12 , 14 and 16 the mask 6 can be positioned exactly, as this facilitates alignment of the holding frame 8 in two mutually perpendicular directions, and a rotation.
- the axial drive 13 facilitates positional adjustment concerning the distance of the mask 6 relative to the substrate 3 . Overall, the result is that the mask-positioning device 5 affords the possibility of exact positioning of the mask in three independent spatial directions.
- the substrate carrier 2 comprises, peripherally around the area in which the substrate 3 comes to lie, a large number of magnets 4 whose positions correspond with the electromagnets 7 . This means that, when adherence to the provided substrate and mask positions is observed, during transfer of the mask to the substrate 3 , the electromagnets 7 and the magnets 4 of the substrate carrier 2 are exactly opposite each other or their longitudinal axes are arranged on one axis.
- the magnets 4 can be both permanent magnets and electromagnets.
- the magnets 4 are arranged at the rear side of the substrate carrier 2 at a mask-holding frame 9 , which in turn is arranged via spacers 20 on the substrate-receiver plate of the substrate carrier 2 .
- the mask-holding frame 9 may in this regard be attached in any suitable manner, especially releasably, to the substrate-holding plate of the substrate carrier 2 .
- the mask-holding frame 9 can be formed both as an annular frame and a continuous plate. Especially, the mask-holding frame also serves as a magnetic yoke for the magnets 4 arranged on it.
- annular or frame-like arrangement of the magnets 4 , 7 around or along the edge of the receiver area for the substrate 3 effects uniform and, for dynamic coating, sufficiently firm holding of the mask 6 with magnetic forces sufficiently large enough for handling the thin, foil-like masks without damaging them.
- the transfer of the mask to the substrate proceeds as depicted in FIGS. 1 to 3 in such a manner that the mask 6 is first passed by a mask feed to the mask-positioning arrangement 5 , said mask 6 featuring a peripheral magnetic frame or edge 21 (see FIG. 4 ), which corresponds to the peripherally or annularly arranged electromagnets on the holding frame 8 of the mask-positioning device 5 , such that mask 6 can be held by its frame 21 or edge by means of the electromagnets 7 of the holding plate 8 on corresponding activation of the electromagnets 7 .
- the substrate carrier 2 with the substrate 3 is gripped by the coupling elements 11 of the lifting devices 18 at the substrate-carrier coupling 10 and, as illustrated in FIG. 2 , is traversed by means of the lifting devices 18 to the mask 6 from behind such that the magnetic frame or edge of the mask 6 comes to lie over the magnets 4 of the substrate carrier, and the mask 6 comes to lie over the substrate 3 .
- the movement can be effected perpendicularly to the substrate or mask plane by axial drive 13 as well.
- the electromagnets 7 are deactivated or switched off and the substrate 3 is traversed upwards by means of the lifting drives 18 .
- the substrate 3 with the mask 6 is then ready for further transport through the vacuum-coating machine, with the magnets 4 of the substrate carrier 2 holding the mask 6 on the substrate 3 held by the frame 21 or the edge.
- FIG. 4 shows the mask 6 and the frame or edge 21 of the mask 6 and the magnets 4 , which are located beneath the frame or the edge 21 on the substrate carrier 2 arranged there under (not shown).
- the chosen arrangement of the mask holder via magnets 4 at the substrate carrier especially in an annular or frame-shaped arrangement around or along the edge of the substrate and the corresponding provision of a frame or edge on the mask for interaction with the magnets, facilitates simple handling of the mask, secure holding of the mask against the substrate or substrate carrier during dynamic coating and a major reduction of the particles generated during handling of the mask, i.e. raising and lowering of the mask. Further, inexpensive design and construction of the entire system is facilitated.
- the mask 6 and the frame 21 can be formed both as one piece and several pieces, with the multi-piece designs being described as a frame, and the one-piece designs being described as an edge.
